Stress–strain state of a piecewise homogeneous ferromagnetic body with an interfacial penny-shaped crack

Abstract

This paper considers the stress–strain state of a body consisting of two bonded uniform ferromagnetic half-spaces, with an interfacial penny-shaped crack. The body is assumed to be acted on by a uniform magnetic field in a direction normal to the crack and interface. The problem is reduced to the solution of singular integral equations with respect to two unknown functions on a finite interval. These functions are defined analytically, allowing us to obtain formulae for the magnetoelastic stresses and coefficient of stress intensity. From these formulae, the influence of various physico-mechanical parameters and the magnetic field on the stress strain state of the body in the vicinity of crack is studied.
